چکیده

The hemodynamic responses to isometric exercise (hand grip) were investigated in normotensive subjects during a 150 mEq (n = 8) sodium diet and a 10 mEq (n = 6) sodium diet both before and after the administration of the converting enzyme inhibitor teprotide. Although teprotide significantly decreased the mean arterial pressure during both sodium intakes, the normal pattern of hemodynamic response to hand grip was preserved, that is mean arterial pressure was increased by hand grip mainly because of an increase in cardiac output. Changes of plasma catecholamines during hand grip were not affected by teprotide. In addition, the hemodynamic responses to standing were not substantially altered by teprotide. When fainting occurred (in the seated position) following the administration of teprotide, it was associated not only with a decrease in arterial pressure but also with a concurrent reduction in cardiac output. We conclude that angiotensin inhibition by teprotide does not significantly impair sympathetically mediated cardiovascular responses.

A study of variation in cardiocirculatory parameters with different body positions during isometric exercise in young adult males.

Introduction: To study the effects of exercise, how important it is to choose a posture? We aimed to characterize the possible impact of different body positions on cardiovascular parameters during and after sustained isometric handgrip (IHG) exercise. Materials and Methods: Cross sectional study was carried out in 33 young adult males (mean age: 19.21±1.083 years). We recorded Bloo...

Attenuation of Focal Cerebral Ischemic Injury Following Post-Ischemic Inhibition of Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Activity in Normotensive Rat

Background: Central renin angiotensin system has an important role on the cerebral microcirculation and metabolism. Our previous work showed that inhibition of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) activity prior to induction of ischemia protected the brain from severe ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injuries. This study evaluated the impacts of post-ischemic inhibition of ACE, enalapril, on brain inf...

Renin-angiotensin system inhibition in conscious sodium-depleted dogs. Effects on systemic and coronary hemodynamics.

The role of the renin-angiotensin system in the regulation of the systemic and coronary circulations during sodium depletion was studied in conscious normotensive dogs by i.v. administration of teprotide (0.5 mg/kg), an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, and saralasin (0.05-5 mug/kg per min), an angiotensin-receptor antagonist. Sodium depletion was produced by administering a low sodium d...

Hormonal and blood pressure changes during converting enzyme inhibition by teprotide.

Changes induced by i.v. and subcutaneous teprotide in plasma renin, angiotensin I, angiotensin II, aldosterone and bradykinin were studied in a renal transplant patient with severe high renin hypertension, before and after trinephrectomy. The immediate reduction in BP produced by teprotide was not solely attributable to the inhibition of conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, because th...

ETa-receptor blockade, but not ACE inhibition, blunts retinal vessel response during isometric exercise.

Angiotensin II and endothelin-1 are potent vasoconstrictors that appear to play a role in retinal blood flow regulation. In the present study, we investigated the possible role of the angiotensin and the endothelin system in the regulation of retinal vessel diameters during isometric exercise in healthy humans. The study design was randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled, and three-way cr...
